My life is a work of art in progress worthy of appreciation.

I had my tongue pierced last night! (yay! i finally did it)
Straight away after Alicia Goh's audit. LOL

For weeks I'd been telling myself that, if Darren Tan & Alicia Goh's audit went well, that'd be God's sign that I'd do okay piercing my tongue.

So, abiding God's blessing (hahaha...), I went yesterday (accompanied by my good friend Quek Yan Shan Zann and her boyfriend) to have my tongue pierced.

I did it at this place called:
STEGE (www.stegegallery.com)
80 Marine Parade Road
#02-29 Parkway Parade
Singapore 449269

According to Zann, that place was supposed to be a very good and safe place for tongue piercing.

Sanice, the lady who pierced my tongue, said that a lot of people had their tongue pierced without using the numbing spray. Well, obviously I didn't care about what other people did, I requested as much numbing spray as possible.

Well, the tongue piercing didn't really hurt. I certainly felt the needle sticking inside of my tongue and coming out the other end, though.

After that, Zann and her bf brought me to McDonald's to eat an ice cream cone (but served in a cup). The ice cream would supposedly help sooth my about-to-swell tongue.

I went home by cab. And after that, I slept (without having that much pain at all, but that's probably because the effect of the numbing spray hadn't worn off yet).

------THE NEXT DAY------

Well, I woke up this morning with a stinging sensation in my tongue (irritating).

I didn't have a lot of food in my house, and I thought of eating noodle soup. Zann said that if it's a first time and one is not used to tongue piercing yet, the noodle might get stuck in the barbell.

Well, I didn't really have a lot of choices, so I crushed the noodle before cooking and eating it. However, even though crushed, some noodle still got stuck in the barbell.

Lunch was horrible! I bought a pack of breads, I ate two pieces without toasting and putting jams on them.
OMG, the chewing and the swallowing was really difficult and rather painful.

At night, I didn't have any more food to eat, the only choice left was some apples I had in my fridge. I got hungry during dinner, so, having no choice, I cut one apple in really really small pieces and tried to chew and eat the apple slices slowly. Painful as well.

And now, I don't know why at all, my tongue hurts (or maybe more like sore). And my jaw is also hurting right now because I keep positioning my tongue in a way that my jaw was stretched in a funny position for quite long.

I even used some ice to try to soothe my hurting tongue!

The whole experience sucks!!
I thought the longer I endure, the better I'd feel. But how is it that my tongue hurts more now compared to last night and this afternoon?!

This is driving me crazy! I hope I'd recover soon! I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
